Evaluation Environment for AUTOSAR-Autocode in Motor Control ...

4.2.1 Main Task
4.2 Topic of the Diploma Thesis
The purpose of this diploma thesis is to design and create an environment to test and
evaluate RTE generators. It shall help to perform tests with an RTE generator and
rate its quality. A major focus of these test shall be the integration in MEDC17 and
results shall state the needs for changes to the generator and MEDC17. Additionally
a proceeding to evaluate a new version of an RTE generator shall be developed. This
leads to the following steps:
• breakdown of the required features
• decide which features shall be tested
• decide how the result should be interpreted
• build an environment to provide the tests
• create test cases
• create evaluation guidance
The term “environment” does not say how this shall be realized. From the topic it
isn’t defined which form the environment should have. Supposable are e.g. a graphical
user interface or just a description of a concrete proceeding.
4.2.2 Requirements
At the begin of the diploma thesis, a functional specification was worked out. It
contains a lot of requirements for this work. Because the requirements also cover some
implementation and analysis aspects, they does not fit in this chapter. So they are
shown in appendix B.
4.2.3 Available Resources and Tools
There are some resources and tools available to do this diploma thesis. They are
described in the following listing.
RTE generators from ETAS ETAS has developed different versions of RTE generators
for AUTOSAR release 2.0 and 2.1, which are available for this work. These
versions already fulfill some special requirements from BOSCH. These generators are
the main test objects of the whole environment, because these are the generators which
will be used from BOSCH.
GEENSYS AUTOSAR Builder The AUTOSAR Builder allows to edit the XML
descriptions and XML configurations on a higher level than just editing the plain text
files. It helps creating descriptions and configurations by showing the available tags
for the XML structure. It also provides help for using the references in the XML file.
The complete program is split into several tools, which provides generating the XML
